Abstract
Abstract In a transmission system with a transmitter coupled to a receiver a main signal encoded according to a coding property is transmitted together with an auxiliary signal (AUX). In order to transmit the auxiliary signal without needing additional space in the transmission frame, the auxiliary signal is transmitted by changing the coding property according to a predetermined sequence. This is done by means of the sequencer. In the receiver, the decoding of the predetermined sequence is performed by a decoder.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
84 words
A transmission system comprising: receiver means; and transmitter means for transmitting a signal via a transmission channel to said receiver means, wherein said transmitter means has a first encoder means for encoding the signal in a way described by a coding property, and a second encoder means for encoding the coding property, and wherein said receiver means has a first decoder means for decoding the signal in a way described by the coding property, and a second decoder means for decoding the coding property.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
84 words
A transmission system comprising: receiver means; and transmitter means for transmitting a signal via a transmission channel to said receiver means, wherein said transmitter means has a first encoder means for encoding the signal in a way described by a coding property, and a second encoder means for encoding the coding property, and wherein said receiver means has a first decoder means for decoding the signal in a way described by the coding property, and a second decoder means for decoding the coding property.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
36 words
The transmission system of claim 1 , wherein said code encoder means and said code decoder means are configured to exchange said coding property before said signal having said coding property arrives to first decoder means.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
33 words
The transmission system of claim 1 , wherein said the coding property is an output bitrate of the first encoder means or is variable and based on the capacity of the transmission channel.
Claim 5
Independent Claim
57 words
A method of decoding a transmission signal, the method comprising the steps of: receiving the transmission signal via a transmission channel, wherein said transmission signal includes a main signal and a coding property; decoding the main signal, using a first decoder in a way described by the coding property; decoding the coding property using a second decoder.
Claim 6
Independent Claim
57 words
A method of decoding a transmission signal, the method comprising the steps of: receiving the transmission signal via a transmission channel, wherein said transmission signal includes a main signal and a coding property; decoding the main signal, using a first decoder in a way described by the coding property; decoding the coding property using a second decoder.
